A4 - CYCLONIC PRE-FILTER
CLEAN
The cleaning interval is given as a guide; however, the
pre-filter must be emptied as soon as impurities reach
the MAX level on the collector bowl.
- Loosen nut (1) (fig. A4), remove cover (2) (fig. A4)
and empty the collector bowl.
- Clean the pre-filter unit with a clean dry cloth and
re-assemble the unit.
IMPORTANT:
When cleaning the pre-filter, take
care not to let impurities into the dry air filter.
A5 - TIRES PRESSURE AND WHEEL
NUTS TORQUE
CHECK
- Check the condition of the tires, to detect cuts,
bulges, wear, etc.
- Check the torque of the wheel nuts.
IMPORTANT:
Loose wheel nuts can cause dam-
age and failure of the wheel bolts and distortion to
the wheels.
Wheel nuts tightening torque:
• Front wheels: 465 ft.-lbs. (630 Nm) ± 15 %
• Rear wheels: 465 ft.-lbs. (630 Nm) ± 15 %
- Check and adjust the tire pressures if necessary (see
chapter: 1 - SPECIFICATIONS).
A6 - BOOM WEAR PADS
CLEAN - GREASE
To be carried out every 10 hours during the first 50
hours service, then once at 250 hours.
- Extend the boom completely.
- With a brush, apply a coat of grease (see chapter: 6
- MAINTENANCE: LUBRICANTS AND FUEL)
on the four sides of the telescoping sections (fig.
A6).

WARNING
Check that the air hose is correctly connected
to the tire valve before inflating. Keep every-
one away during inflation.
Follow the recommended tire pressures.
WARNING
Inflating or servicing tires can be hazardous.
Whenever possible, only trained personnel
should service and mount tires. To avoid pos-
sible death or serious injury, follow the safety
precautions below:
1. Be sure the rim is clean and free of rust.
2. Lubricate both the tire beads and rim
flanges with a soap solution. DO NOT use
oil or grease.
3. DO NOT place your fingers on the tire bead
or rim during inflation. Use a clip-on tire
chuck with a remote hose and gauge,
which allows you to stand clear of the tire
while inflating it.
4. NEVER inflate beyond 35 psi (240 kPa) to
seat the beads. If the beads have not seat-
ed by the time the pressure reaches 35 psi
(240 kPa), deflate the assembly, reposition
the tire on the rim, relubricate both parts
and re-inflate. Inflation pressure beyond 35
psi (240 kPa) with unseated beads may
break the bead or rim with explosive force
sufficient to cause death or serious injury.
5. After seating the beads, adjust the inflation
pressure to the recommended operating
pressure listed.
6. DO NOT weld, braze, or otherwise attempt
to repair and use a damaged rim.
